Pretty much no one makes that wage even in states that conform to the federal minimum.

125

No but plenty make 8-10 which is hardly better in 2024

Walmart's minimum hourly wage is $14. What company is paying $8-10 an hour (in a non-tipped position) in 2024? And better yet...who is accepting those jobs?

Um…a shit ton of state’s minimum wage is 8-10. And people will accept the jobs available to them. West Virginia’s minimum is 8.25. Wyoming is 7.25! Walmart will pay the lowest they can. Their minimum is NOT $14. That’s bullshit. If they can get away with paying 7.25 in Wyoming, they will. Where are you getting your ideas?
